Once the killing starts, it doesn't stop.
If one cannot completely eliminate the other, then the spiral of war and hatred only traps both sides in an endless cycle of pain...
"I understand all this, but if given the choice, who would want to be born into war, die in war, and have their entire life be nothing but a minor episode in the midst of conflict..."
The awakening, or perhaps desperation, of a middle-aged Long Hand left a deep impression on Lu Ping'an.
Especially when they joyfully dragged those charred corpses up, gleefully cooperating in dissecting them... Maybe if Lu Ping'an weren't still there, even those who were vegetarian would have tried to indulge in a meal.
When hatred has lasted for years and can no longer be dissipated, when an ancient grudge is compounded with the struggle for living space, combined with the fear for one's own life, it has become the instinct to fight upon sight.
"Loyalty, if not absolute, is absolutely not loyalty..."
